IF IT’S MONDAY IT MUST BE CHICAGO
4:33 AM CST…yep that’s central standard time…I am on the 20th floor…I told somebody I had an incredible view …yet it’s actually dark so I should wait until daybreak to give an official verdict….maybe I am just giddy by the Wizards 3-0 start—-I know it’s pre season…but plenty of positives to point to in a game that did not feature Gilbert Arenas and Antonio Daniels….some bad habits on defense were back..missed assignments…but it’s not going to be perfect. Eddie probably summed it up best .. when he said better from first unit which included Roger Mason and the second unit did not have the kind of game it had been having…still made plays down the strecth you have to love Blatche’s line 10 points 5 rebounds and four assists,.. and Mike Hall nailed a big jumper….Play-by-Play of Wizards and Bulls Tuesday on SportsTalk 980 and we will be blogging…..check back later
5:27PM CST….Great comments….again tomorrow’s game on SportsTalk980 and there will be a link on washingtonwizards.com..team had about a 90 minute practice…talked to Antawn after the practice..he is pleased that team is showing progress from game to game. ..we noted in the broadcast yesterday that Antawn looks physically better…he has been doing Yoga….and is coming off a summer where he told me was able to relax…no rehab from injury…no Team USA basketball…..i’ll check back later
Posted: October 15th, 2007 under Wizards.

Correction the Zero Turnover Club is Big M.Hall,Pecherov and Massenburg. I would like to make it a goal to have atleast 5 to 6 players on the list every game.

Finnaly I’ll catch a game on tv!!! I can’t wait to see the new guys play, I mean I know what they’ve done so far but to see it will be quite different. The part I’ll be the most interested in will be the defense, I mean I care ’bout the offense (how couldn’t I with Blatche, Mason (at least yesterday), Haywood (not yesterday), Jamison, Butler and so on) but honestly I wanna check this growing defense. If the perspective of playing againt one of the most dangerous team of the eastern conference, let’s remember the huge 101-68 slap they gave us last time we met!!

CHICAGO WILL BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT BECAUSE THEY HATE US TO THE CORE FROM THE PLAYOFF LOSS A COUPLE OF YEARS PAST. THE RIVALRY CONTINUES BUT THERE BENCH MATCHES UP WELL WITH OURS. DUHON IS DEADLY WHEN ON FROM LONG RANGE AND NOAH AND GRAY HAVE MAD SKILLS OFFENSIVELY AND DEFENSIVELY. IT WILL DEFINITELY GET PHYSICAL BUT WE MUST REMAIN COOL UNDER HEAVY PRESSURE.WE PRETTY MUCH HAVE TO TO PERFECT IN ALL CATEGORIES TO WIN.FREETHROWS,DEFENSIVELY AND THREE-POINTERS HAVE TO DEAD ON BECAUSE CHICAGO SHOOTS QUITE WELL FROM LONG RANGE THIS YEAR.

Should be a really good game, and another measure of what we’ve got, and whether the D will be consistent.

I guess this game is not being televised? Too bad, as this is one I’d have liked to see. The Bulls have some young’uns to test out too.

Well I guys if you’re intrested in watching the game I’ll say only a word: sopcast. Just check on the internet you’ll understand. And yes my boy D-Mac is DA STEAL of the 2007 draft (I know it’s preaseason, I know, let me dream lol).

Ernie Grunfield is the best general manager in the NBA so why would I question his judgement. Dmac is great on defense and thats exactly what we need right now!He had unbelievable 3.5 blocks in college and he is only 6’8″ but plays like a 7 footer.I did not know he was shooting 45% from the 3-pointers which makes him more dangerous. Nick Young brings energy and a freespirit which is refreshing but there is definitely a fire burning in him because he doesn’t want to play 2nd fiddle to Dmac.The competiton for minutes is boiling over so nows the time to impress the coach and everyone!

Lilgil, tell me more about sopcast. Will there really be someone there telecasting the game in Chicago? Do you get a lot of spam by joining? Where is sopcast based?

who was questioning the drafting of dominic mcguire? I was amazed that he dropped to the 2d round at all.

Lilgil — yes, more about sopcast please. i just downloaded the client software (a player and probably a p2p application as well), but i need to know more.
I assume that this will only help for tonight if the Bulls TV station is broadcasting the game? Or nba TV?

here is where you can see the game online…
http://www.myp2p.eu/NBA.htm
you have to dowload a program to watch it, but no big deal.
The game is televised by CSN Chicago, so if you have NBA league pass, you can watch it there.

Well actually arden1006 gave you everything you need.You actually don’t even need to get a sopcast acount to watch games just connect yourself with the “anonymous” option. You just check the schedule arden1006 gave ( http://myp2p.eu/NBA.htm ) then you click on the link in the coumn sopcast right in front of the game you wanna watch and you get to see the game. The quality isn’t amazing but at least you get to look at something. You won’t be able to watch a whole lot of games during the preseason but as soon as the season kicks off there’ll be plenty of games and what’s good is that you get to see the games on national television and so on so it’s usefull for the ones who actually don’t have national tv or whatever. I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Damn I didn’t watch carefully the link actually isn’t for sopcast on myp2p.com 
I’m sorry guys, well if I figure out how to I’ll maybe broadcast the game by myself since I’ll get it on nbatv international tonight. Anyway you still may try tv ants which seems to provide the game. Once again sorry.

I have to praise the 0 Turnover Club and that consists of Pecherov,Massenburg,Songalia.
The turnovers went way up this game probably because of back to back but the energy to block the ball and let them know it not going down was impressive.The three pointers remain a important part of our offensive arsenal so if you know that you can make threes then get some coaching from Hopla for more mentorship for a better percentage.I feel the team has showed resiliency and determination when the scores get close because in the past we would have blown it!The grades so far is Defensive-A ,
Offensive-C , Coaching-B and Management-A. The offense will come that is not my major concern so I’m really happy so far!
